CS184 Assignment 6: Inverse Kinematics Solver using Cyclic Coordinate Descent

Please turn your speakers on to hear us narrate! :)

This video showcases the features of a project made by Alexis He (cs184-bu) and Jonathan Kotker (cs184-dl) for the computer graphics course (CS184) at the University of California, Berkeley, taught by James O'Brien. The project implements an inverse kinematics solver using the cyclic coordinate descent algorithm.

In this demonstration, we show a four-jointed arm and its reactions to three paths. The first path passes through the first joint, and also goes out of reach. The second path is a simple, non-trivial, circular path. The third path is completely out of reach of the arm.

This video was taken using Camtasia Studio. Many thanks to Thomas Magrino and Anthony Chen for recommending it!
